This page explains how to add and update activities for European Solidarity Corps projects in Mobility Tool+

  • Each action type in the European Solidarity Corps has a different set of predefined activities. An activity is a set of tasks performed within the same location, the same time frame and the same scope. A group of participants are associated to the activity with a unique activity ID. A one-to-one relationship of a participant to a group activity is referred to as a "Participation".
  • The details of the activities awarded in the Grant Agreement will be present in Mobility Tool+.  Details concerning the organisation and budget are blank and require to be entered. Additional activities can be listed.
  • We recommend to create offers that are to be grouped for the same activity ID using the same offer title. In this way, all participants that have accepted offers related to the same activity ID can be easily associated to the same activity.
